Funny you should mention it Parker...

I swear I tried those same **zipper** siwash hooks two weeks ago and they have actually declined in quality...and from what I've seen and heard their customer service isn't as great as it was cracked to be either.

Last year my buddy and I were down in the **zipper** hole last year on the Sol Duc and against my advice he had bought the **zipper** siwashes over the **zipper**siwashes. There were at least twenty witnesses that day as my buddy loudly proclaimed how, ahem, "bad" **zipper** siwashes are and broke a whole pack, one by one, that would not close...pyoing!!...pyoing!!...pyoing!!

...think what you ('you' the collective, not 'you' Parker)want. Between the two of us my friend and I have twenty years experience as dedicated hardware fishermen so cast aspersions if you wish...I speak the truth, THAT is my agenda.

Hehe...think the hook thing doesn't still bother me a little??
